“What is the path to wholeness? We will see this path more clearly if we recognize that greed’s ugly stepsister is ungratefulness. Greed always wants more. When we are greedy, we are never satisfied. Whatever we receive from others, we conclude we deserve. And in whatever quantity it may come, it is never enough. Lack of gratitude is a manifestation of an abundance of greed. From the vantage point of the taker, it is his or her justification for always demanding. He is endlessly disappointed in others. No one ever comes through for him. No one ever keeps his promises. Everyone always falls short of his expectations. There is no need for thanks, except thanks for nothing. No truth, no matter how profound, will find its way into a heart that is absent of gratitude.”
Erwin Raphael McManus, Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul“The first and most important step in the process of becoming genuinely is to be once again authenticated by the original designer.”
Erwin Raphael McManus, Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul“Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.”
Erwin Raphael McManus, Uprising: A Revolution of the Soul“While never violating our uniqueness, we move together, united in heart and soul. Our greatness is unleashed in the context of community. When we move together, God is most perfectly revealed in us.”
Erwin Raphael McManus, The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within“We are called to fear only God. There is an important reason for this. What we fear is what we're subject to; our fears define our master. Where there is no fear, there is no control.”
Erwin Raphael McManus, The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within“This is perhaps why so many of us who know love fear love. We know that love is not the absence of pain. If anything, love is the promise of pain. No one has loved more deeply than God. Has anyone ever been more betrayed? God would not know suffering if He did not know love. But because He is Love, He chose to suffer on our behalf. Without love there is no glory in suffering.”
Erwin Raphael McManus, The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within“We are all time voyagers leaving history in our wake, pioneering into the future.”
